Villagers in southern Afghanistan buried 16 men, women and children shot dead in their homes yesterday by a U.S. soldier, as local authorities urged them not to attack the nearby American military base in revenge.
Farming families in Zangabad, a grape-growing village 35 kilometers (22 miles) southwest of Kandahar, Afghanistan’s second-largest city, met in mosques today to hold post-burial prayers for relatives killed by the soldier, said Habibullah Khan, whose home was one of those attacked.
